London:
Veteran actress Judi Dench, who recently underwent a knee replacement surgery, walked down the red carpet for her new movie, just weeks after the operation.
The 78-year-old Oscar-winner asked her surgeon to make sure she shows up at the premiere of Philomena, without the aid of a stick, reported Daily Mirror.
"I have a completely new knee now. It's brilliant. When I had it done on September 6, I said to my surgeon 'On October 16 I will walk up a red carpet unaided', and so I did," Dench said.
The actress says she is far from retiring.
"I am not feeling my age at all. I am about 43, a tall willowy blonde 43-year-old with long legs. I don't want to slow down at all. We don't say the word retirement in our house. Old and retired are totally banned," Dench said.
